Does anyone have small to medium sized stand alone OO programs that can be used to benchmark OO languages and systems? What I'm looking for is a set of benchmarks similar to those contained in R. Gabriel's book _Performance and Evaluation of Lisp Systems_, only for OO programming. The language doesn't matter much, so long as the OO style is in the Smalltalk/C++/Flavors group (late binding of methods to messages).

I think an OOP language benchmark should measure how long a program
takes to *write*, not to *run.* .5 ;^)

The response I've received concerning my request for benchmark object oriented programs indicates a misunderstanding. I am gathering OO programs (again, small to medium size stand alone) to test a system we at MITRE are developing that automatically parallelizes OO programs for message-passing multicomputers. I am not looking for examples chosen for their parallelizability - that would skew the test results. I guess my use of the term "benchmark" was slightly inappropriate, since it suggested that the programs would be used in timing tests. This is not the case, although I wonder why I have to justify myself this way. Again, any programs and/or reference to books/articles of programs would be appreciated.
